‘Warm and engaging with a stunning setting and fabulous characters. I look forward to the next in the series!’ Jessica Redland

Cinderella meets Bake-Off in this contemporary rags-to-riches romcom.

From the moment they meet, Bella and Adam know this is no ordinary holiday romance. This is the real deal.

But when they find out Adam’s father has died and he has inherited the penniless Lowbridge Loch estate, their lives are changed in an instant.

Bella suddenly finds herself dealing with crumbling castles, battling baronesses, and a tiny community of eccentric characters. Rising to the challenge, Bella has an idea to save Lowbridge Loch. She will create The Highland Cookery School.

But will her plans sink like a soufflé when her skills are put to the test? And can Bella and Adam’s love survive the pressure of saving the estate?

An irresistible, feel-good romance perfect for fans of Jessica Redland, Holly Martin, and Heidi Swain.
